Jeff Ballard: A Life In Music
by Renato Wardle
For some jazz musicians, it seems as though they explode onto the scene virtually from the first day they pick up their instrument, and then proceed to land a huge name gig and the rest is history (or they are, after their 15 minutes). Other musicians spend a lifetime building and honing their craft. One gig ...
New Orleans All-Star Brass Band Interviewed at AAJ
With the tragedy of Hurricane Katrina still ensconced in the minds of the American public, despite it being a political hot potato there are those who are grateful for the relief efforts of countries including Kuwait, Qatar, Egypt, Turkey, Morocco, and Senegal. AAJ contributor Ian Patterson caught up with the New Orleans All-Star Brass Band (formed ...
Skerik Interviewed at AAJ
Seattle-born saxophonist Skerik isn't a jazz musician. Or at least, he wouldn't say he is, because no contemporary instrumentalist is more indifferent to--even contemptuous of--musical boundaries and genres. Still, through projects like Garage a Trois and associations with artists including 8-string guitarist Charlie Hunter and drummer Bobby Previte, not to mention his own Syncopated Taint Septet, ...
Skerik: Concept is All Anyone Cares About
by Paul Olson
Seattle-born saxophonist Skerik--née Eric Walton--isn't a jazz musician. Or at least, he wouldn't say he is, because no contemporary instrumentalist is more indifferent to--even contemptuous of--musical boundaries and genres. His early years in Seattle were deeply jazz-informed (his father was a jazz fan), but he was playing in rock groups at the same time he was ...
Intervista a Johannes Tonio Kreusch
by AAJ Italy Staff
Johannes Tonio Kreusch è un chitarrista che rifiuta i generi e che con disinvoltura passa dal mondo della musica classica a quello dell'improvvisazione. Da Hector Villa Lobos a Markus Stockhausen trova sempre il modo per esprimere se stesso con autorità, allo stesso tempo modesto con chi, musicisti, allievi, giornalisti, si trova con lui a intrattenersi sul ...

Uri Caine Interviewed at AAJ
Philadelphia-born pianist Uri Caine is an extremely well-rounded player with an effortlessly quick improvising wit, and his multi-stylistic musical sensibility and his mastery of both acoustic piano and Fender Rhodes makes him a desirable addition to just about any group. But he's also a composer and arranger of tremendous imagination, with a work ethic to match--which ...
Uri Caine: Transformation, Improvisation and Context
by Paul Olson
Keyboardist/composer Uri Caine was born and raised in Philadelphia. He began playing piano at an early age, and, while still a Philadephian, played with jazz leaders like drummer “Phillie Joe Jones, bassist Jymie Merritt and trumpeter Johnny Coles. While attending the University of Pennsylvania, he studied composition with George Crumb and George Rochberg. Caine soon moved ...
Jack DeJohnette: Groove, colori e raggi dorati
by AAJ Italy Staff
Intervista di Paul Olson Jack DeJohnette ha uno stile inconfondibile. Nessuno tra i batteristi jazz attualmente in circolazione suona con quella particolare miscela fatta di groove, forza e precisione nella scansione del tempo. Dopo alcuni anni a Chicago (dove era richiesto più come pianista che come batterista) e sodalizi con i musicisti dell'AACM, come Roscoe Mitchell ...
